We love questions! Here are some that we hear often:

Do you take my insurance?

No insurance hassles, requirements or copays. We offer personalized care plans that are affordable without the hassles of insurance billing, copays, deductibles, or declined reimbursements. We do accept HSA and FSA cards.

Discounts for families/individuals and flexible payments options. Take advantage of our family & individual discounts along with our flexible payments options. They eliminate the need for insurance.

Comparable, competitive pricing. Our prices are comparable, and in many cases, the same or less than a typical insurance copay in the tri-state area. In addition, our walk-in adjustment rate is even lower after family discounts are applied and a flexible payment option is chosen.

Why do children need chiropractic care?

Why not?!? Children get their ears, eyes and teeth checked. Why not their spine and nervous system? It controls every other function in their little bodies. So important for proper growth and development! Physical stressors are everywhere in a child’s world. Ask yourself if you’ve ever witnessed a 3 year old jump off the couch like Superman; a child spending too much time looking down at an iPad; the tugging and pulling during the birthing process…then you know. Dr. Dave has had extensive training in pediatrics and works in conjunction with local pediatricians to provide well-rounded care. He has two sons, Jack (6) and Jonathan (3) and they have wipeouts daily, so they get adjusted regularly.

Chiropractic for kiddos is oh-so gentle and effective. Parents looking for a natural way for their children to be as healthy as possible find help here. By adjusting the spine, the communication between a child’s developing brain and growing body becomes more efficient – like the fast lane on a superhighway! Kiddos call it their “superpowers.” For some kids an efficient nervous system means a stronger immune system, for others it means improved coordination, sleep and behavior. Bottomline, the healthier your nervous system is from the inside out, the healthier you will be and the brighter your future will be. We are here to give you hope, answers and help!

What does an adjustment look like for a child?

First and foremost … fun! Dr. Dave always tells our littlest patients, “I have two promises for you. Number one, nothing we do in here is going to hurt. No pills. No shots. None of that. And two, we’re going to have a lot of fun.” An adjustment on a child looks different than a grown up adjustment. For example, when adjusting a newborn, the doctor uses the same amount of pressure (using his pinkies) that you’d use to check the ripeness of a tomato. It’s very gentle. Kids really enjoy their time at HFC. They love seeing Dr. Dave and the staff, and they love their adjustments sometimes laughing or sleeping right through them! Moms report back that their children are “playing chiropractor” at home because they enjoy their experience with us so much.

Do you see adults?

Absolutley, we do see adults! In fact, half of our practice is comprised of adults.

How many adjustments will I need?

The amount of care you’ll need is solely based on the results from your initial visit. Because everyone is different, every care plan will be tailored to your individual needs. Typically, your visits will be more frequent in the beginning and slowly taper off as your health improves. This is an exciting win and definitely worth celebrating!

Do you take X-rays?

No, we intentionally do not take X-rays at our office. They are useful in finding structural problems like a bone fracture, for example. We are happy to send you out for X-rays if the doctor feels they are necessary. We are more interested in seeing how your body is actually functioning. Our INSiGHT™ scans to give us a clear picture of how well your muscles are moving, how well your internal systems are functioning, and your overall stressload and capacity. This computerized, state-of-the-art technology is completely safe for everyone, even newborns and pregnant moms.
